At my citizenship ceremony my (British) kids were shocked that I had to swear allegiance to the Queen - as those born here do not.Then again it was far more moving than I ever, ever thought it would be. Realising what others had gone through to get to that place was humbling.

But then I've just spent the weekend in nappy valley.Meeting a well know TV person who was shocked that we wanted to drive back to Hampshire was amusing.Yah.
